“It’s just such an amazing feeling,” Granger said. “Not even getting the award, but just to be recognized among all these amazing people is the greatest feeling in the world. ... I was completely taken by surprise.”

The award, created in 1994, recognizes “outstanding high school seniors nationwide who excel in athletics, academics and community leadership.”

Andrew Miner, a baseball and football player at East Greenwich High School in East Greenwich, R.I., was the male national winner.

Granger and Miner won a $10,000 donation to their high school, a crystal Wendy’s High School Heisman trophy and a $500 Wendy’s gift card. Both were also scheduled to appear on ESPN’s Heisman Trophy broadcast on Saturday.
